The Mid Podcast

Apparently, you can't fondle yourself into denial. Who knew? 😂

This week on The Mid, we're talking about scanxiety — that awful anxiety that comes with waiting for medical test results.

Teresa admits to spiralling down a rabbit hole of medical scans, Google searches, and worst-case scenarios, while Wendy takes a slightly different approach: she'd rather avoid the doctor's office altogether.

Naturally, Teresa has some VERY strong opinions about this. 😂

We also chat about:

⏰ Why daylight saving time has Teresa questioning humanity's right to mess with the clock

🩺 Mammograms, medical screenings, and the joys of getting older

📱 Whether having instant access to your medical records is empowering or just another reason to panic

🎙️ The discovery of ANOTHER podcast called The Mid — and why we're not particularly thrilled about it

🎬 Our homemade horror movie, A Girls' Weekend Gone Bad, is finally on YouTube!

It's a little health anxiety, a little midlife reality, and a whole lot of unsolicited advice between two best friends.

Just another week at The Mid! 💜

It's Halloween at The Mid, and things are getting a little weird. 🎃👻

Wendy shows up wearing one of her late mother's wigs, and a supposedly fun round of Halloween questions goes spectacularly wrong. Turns out, not every question can be answered on a podcast. 😂

We also chat about:

👻 Ghost stories, creepy coincidences, and exes we'd rather not encounter in the afterlife.

🎃 Halloween nostalgia and why trick-or-treating just isn't what it used to be.

🎁 Teresa's surprisingly emotional relationship with White Elephant gift exchanges.

😂 The annoying habits we'd love to put a curse on.

🎬 PLUS! After three years of questionable filmmaking (and questionable judgment), our Halloween movie, A Girls Weekend Gone Bad, is finally premiering on YouTube!

And this week's listener confession? Someone's been faking work calls to avoid working… and accidentally impressed their boss enough to be offered a major project. Oops.

Bad questions, questionable acting, and plenty of laughs. Just another Halloween Gone Wrong at The Mid! 💜

Remember when we couldn't wait to grow up, move out, and never look back? Apparently things have changed. 😂

This week on The Mid, we're talking about one of the trickiest parts of midlife: parenting adult children. Because just when you think your parenting days are behind you, you realize nobody actually told you when to stop.

We get into the challenges of stepping back, keeping our opinions to ourselves (which is harder than it sounds), and figuring out how to support our grown kids without trying to fix everything for them.

We also chat about:

🏠 Why adult kids are moving back home, and whether they can ever afford to move out again

🙊 Learning to bite our tongues and let our kids make their own mistakes

🧒 How parenting has changed since our own free-range childhoods

❤️ The emotional roller coaster of wanting our kids to be happy while learning to let go

And then there's this week's listener confession…🤫

An old flame resurfaces on Facebook, the messages get a little flirty, and suddenly a married woman is picking out an outfit for a coffee date she hasn't even agreed to. Is it harmless fun, or is she playing with fire? 🔥

From parenting grown-ups to questionable decisions involving exes, it's another conversation that goes exactly where you'd expect from two lifelong best friends… absolutely everywhere.

The Kids Are Alright… Right? 💜

SURPRISE! Someone got married! 💍❤️

This week on The Mid, we're talking love, marriage, second chances, and everything that comes with finding your person.

Teresa shares all the details of her beautiful, intimate wedding weekend, why she chose to keep it small, and what it means to find love and build a life together in midlife.

We also get into the realities of blending families, what makes relationships work (or not), and how our expectations of love and marriage change as we get older. Plus, Wendy shares the story of getting married after knowing her husband for just TWO MONTHS. Yep. Two months.

We also chat about:

💍Teresa's secret wedding and the perfect weekend that followed

❤️ Finding love again and learning what really matters

🤫 Our first listener confession: Is secretly taking a day off from your husband the key to a happy marriage?

From heartfelt moments to questionable marriage advice, it's another conversation that goes exactly where you'd expect from two lifelong best friends... absolutely everywhere.

This is Love at the Mid. ❤️

Fall is here, and apparently we have some feelings about it.

This week, we’re talking about the changing seasons — why fall makes us ridiculously happy, why summer has somehow become our least favourite, and whether we could ever actually live somewhere that doesn’t have four seasons.

Then we wander into daylight saving time, sleep, seasonal moods and what happens when your brain decides 1:30 a.m. is a perfectly reasonable time to binge-watch Netflix.

We also chat about:

🥔 What Wendy would do if Teresa turned into a potato

🐦 What happens if your best friend gets turned into a bird

🌊 Why lakes are so calm in the morning and evening

🦚 The fact that apparently we’ve all been using “peacock” wrong

🍅 Teresa’s award-winning tomatoes

There won’t be an episode next week — but there’s a very good reason why. You’ll find out when we’re back in two weeks. 👀

WE’RE BACK! Season 3 of The Mid is officially here — and we’re starting with a story that feels pretty damn perfect for where we are right now.

On a weekend away in Prince Edward County, we wandered into a tiny independent bookstore in Bloomfield and couldn’t stop thinking about it. Not just because of the books, but because of the woman behind it.

So naturally… we went back and asked her a lot of questions.

This week, we sit down with Lindsay Casey, owner of The Wandering Albatross, a fiercely personal little bookstore filled with books she actually wants to read — no filler, no chasing bestsellers, and no pretending to be interested in things she isn’t.

We also chat about:

👶 Wendy’s BIG summer news

🎸 AC/DC and feeling old

🌊 A random fact about tides that blows Wendy’s mind

It’s good to be back. ❤️

Grab a cold drink and spend a summer afternoon with us. 🍹

In this special midsummer catch-up, we're talking about everything from childhood summers and growing older to vacations, gardening, reality TV, and the tiny habits that are helping us feel better this season.

This week we chat about:

• ☀️ What summer feels like in your 50s versus when you were a kid
• 🚲 The freedom of growing up before cell phones
• 🌱 Gardening, houseplants, and our battles with summer pests
• 🏝️ Our trips to Punta Cana and what the rest of summer has in store
• 📺 The Bear, Love Island, and why turning 50 suddenly sounds ancient on reality TV
• 💪 Wendy's "Summer of Wendy" and the surprisingly powerful idea of exercise snacks
• 🧴 The skincare debate that somehow ends with salmon DNA... and synthetic foreskin

It's nostalgic, funny, completely unfiltered, and exactly the kind of conversation two lifelong friends have on a hot summer afternoon.

We'll be back with one more summer update before Season 3 launches in September. Until then, we hope you're soaking up every bit of summer with us. ❤️

Would you want your friends to tell you the brutal truth... no matter what? 😳

This week on The Mid, we're diving into the idea of rigorous honesty—what it is, why some people swear by it, and why, after discussing it, we're leaning toward a pretty firm hard no.

We talk about questions like:

- Can honesty go too far?
- Is there a difference between being truthful and being hurtful?
- Do our friends really want our unfiltered opinions... and do we want theirs?

We explore the messy middle between honesty, kindness, boundaries, and knowing when some thoughts are better left unsaid.

Also:🎤 We check in on our WhatsApp voice memo challenge
🎧 We play some of our very first voice messages
🎬 We talk about the end of Season 2 and what our plans are for summer

It's funny, honest (ironically), and proof that sometimes the truth isn't always the most helpful thing you can say.

If you've ever wondered whether you should tell your friend what you're really thinking, regretted being too honest, or spent way too much time overanalyzing a text message... this episode is for you.

Aging is a privilege... so why are we all trying so hard not to look like we're doing it? 👀

This week on The Mid, we're talking about aging—and all the complicated feelings that come with it.

We dive into questions like:

• Are we too obsessed with anti-aging?
• Is caring about how you look empowering... or is it rooted in insecurity?
• And our own take on "aging gracefully"...what is it really?

We talk about the pressure women face as they get older and the fine line between self-care and trying to turn back the clock.

Also, because it's us:

📺 Teresa gets up to some tomfoolery at the Mrs. Roper Romp

🎙️ We give an update on what's happening with Season 2

🧴 We do a midlife-inspired show and tell featuring some of our favourite products and gadgets

🎤 Teresa challenges Wendy to a week-long voice memo experiment (what could possibly go wrong?)

It's funny, honest, occasionally uncomfortable, and a reminder that most of us are somewhere between "I've accepted aging" and "I just bought another anti-wrinkle product."

If you've ever caught your reflection and thought, "Who is that?", bought a product because it promised miracles, or injured yourself doing something completely normal... this episode is for you.

We'rree Baaackk!

And this week Teresa and Wendy sit down for a very real conversation about Depression at the Mid-Point.

We’re talking honestly about it — the quiet kind, the hidden kind, the kind people don’t always recognize right away…and Teresa's own very personal experience with it.

It’s vulnerable, honest… and probably one of our most real conversations yet.
